Student Clubs

Student Clubs are designed for encouraging students to participate, lead, and learn.
At Virginia International University, student clubs are open to all students irrespective to their program of study, nationalities, and beliefs. Getting involved in extracurricular activities helps you build leadership, professional, and personal skills that will assist you long after you graduate from the University. You will meet new people, share ideas, and explore your potentials.

We are trying to have clubs representing all areas including different nationalities clubs! But, if you don't find what you are looking for, you may start new student clubs with approval from Student Organization Coordinator to meet your needs.

Please don't hesitate to let us know how we can be of assistance to you and your Student Club by writing to Shilpa Sainath at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. .
